With September being Healthy Aging Month, it’s the perfect time to learn how to slow aging and combat negative side effects.
Many people mistakenly believe “aging gracefully” is simply external, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts. While aging has traditionally been viewed as an inevitable, natural process, recent scientific advancements suggest that it can be treated as a disease and managed or slowed down. Common diseases associated with aging include cardiovascular diseases, cancer, type 2 diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Along with this, declining hormone levels that come with aging lead to many symptoms, such as fatigue, decreased libido, weight gain and cognitive decline. With September being Healthy Aging Month, it’s the perfect time to learn how to slow aging and combat negative side effects.
By addressing underlying causes, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can mitigate the effects of aging and improve overall health by increasing energy levels, improving mental clarity and more. Administered through small pellets, the revolutionary treatment uses all-natural hormones that are atom-for-atom identical to those produced by the human body and used in every bodily function to restore optimal hormone levels. This can significantly improve quality of life and counteract many age-related issues.
Some benefits of BHRT include:
Increased muscle mass and strength
Better mood and emotional well-being
Chronic disease prevention and protection
In addition to BHRT, a holistic approach to health includes other practices that promote longevity and vitality. Key wellness practices include a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management and quality sleep. These fundamental components of a healthy lifestyle can significantly impact the aging process.
Treating aging like a disease is not about striving for eternal youth but rather about enhancing the quality of life and extending healthy years.
In today’s world, we’re exposed to many chemicals that can disrupt our delicate hormonal balance and worsen symptoms of aging. Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) bear an alarming structural resemblance to natural hormones. They infiltrate our bodies and wreak havoc on our endocrine system, which can also lead to health issues such as obesity, infertility, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and more.
See below for some tips on avoiding EDC-contaminated products:
Avoid scented products and air fresheners.
Create your own cleaning products using natural ingredients like vinegar, baking soda and essential oils. Branch Basics is a great option. Choose glass containers and ceramic or enameled cast iron cookware, as plastic containers and bottles may contain EDCs.
Choose non-toxic beauty products, such as toothpaste, deodorant.
Filter your water at the tap and use high-quality water filtration systems in the shower/bath.
Choose organic products and grass-fed animal products. Wash all produce, even organic produce, to minimize pesticide exposure. A solution of baking soda and water can effectively remove surface pesticides.
Opt for products in glass bottles and jars instead of cans and nonstick packaging.
Treating aging like a disease is not about striving for eternal youth but rather about enhancing the quality of life and extending healthy years. By addressing the root causes of aging through hormone optimization, nutrition and holistic health practices, we can counteract the symptoms of aging and reduce the risk of age-related diseases.
